Hamilton Employment Lawyers
For employees who want to seek justice for unfair conditions at work.
Why you may need a Hamilton employment lawyer
People spend a lot of time at work; 20, 25, 30 years—or more. Over a lifetime, each of us spends about 90,000 hours at work. Although provincial and federal laws govern employment standards, labour relations, human rights and occupational health and safety, employers don’t always follow the law.
You may need advice from an employment lawyer if:
- Your employer has changed your job substantially – Is that legal? Is that constructive dismissal?
- You have been laid off, fired, or offered a lesser position (with less money) during a maternity leave, pregnancy or parental leave, or immediately after returning to work from a leave.
- You have been given a severance package and your employer is pressuring you to sign it – Has the employer followed the law? Have all forms of compensation been included in the severance package?
- Your employer wants you to sign a new employment contract – Are you signing away any future legal rights or entitlements? Is the contract valid?
- Your boss or a co-worker engages in offensive behaviour like sexist, racist, homophobic or transphobic jokes; sexual comments in the workplace; sexual assault; inappropriate romantic advances at work and you don’t know what to do or how to handle it on your own.
- You are being bullied or discriminated against because of sex, sexual orientation, race, or religion and believe that your human rights at work have been violated. These types of discrimination violate Canadian Human Rights Act and Ontario’s Human Rights Code.

Your employment law consultation at McMahon Molyneaux Henriquez Law
The first step in hiring a Hamilton employment lawyer at McMahon Molyneaux Henriquez Law is a consultation. We will tell you what information and documents to bring to the consultation, so that we can properly assess your claim. During this meeting, we:
- review your situation;
- explain the employment, labour or human rights law issues that apply to your situation;
- discuss your employment law options.
Depending on the legal remedy, we negotiate and advocate on your behalf to obtain a favourable settlement. Sometimes, a case will proceed to trial.
By the end of the consultation, you will understand your rights and obligations, as well as the strategies and legal remedies available to you. At the end of your consultation, we will consider whether you need ongoing advice or representation and whether we can work together to try to achieve your goals, whether through a mutually agreeable settlement or litigation.
At McMahon Molyneaux Henriquez Law, we assess cases in the most efficient ways possible while not cutting corners. This saves you time and protects your legal rights, too.
We prefer to meet with all our clients in person at our offices. We find that in-person communication works best because many people feel that the nature of employment law problems are personal and sensitive. When this is not possible for a number of reasons, meetings can be arranged using video conferencing such as Skype, or a phone call.
We do not offer free consultations. We offer good value to our clients and timely, practical solutions. To get started, contact us now.
